Regardless of the time of the creation – the 16th century or the 20th century – anything that is crafted with great precision will surely rack up more appreciation and ultimately fetch mind-blowing auction bids. Four such works are a necklace worn by Princess Diana, The Head of Saint John the Baptist presented to Salome painting, and two more.
Iconic Cross
Diana necklace surpasses bid estimate

An amethyst and diamond pendant once worn by the late Diana, Princess of Wales, fetched £163,800 (HK$1,534,906) at a Sotheby’s auction. Kim Kardashian outbid her rivals to scoop up the Attallah Cross. The cross was bought by Naim Attallah CBE, from Garrard in the 1980s and through his friendship with Princess Diana, he could loan it to her several times over a number of years to wear at events. It is understood that the Princess only ever wore the cross, and following her death, it was never seen in public again until the auction. The cross-shaped pendant – thought to be a one-off private commission by Garrard for one of their regular clients &#8211; is a bold and colourful piece set with square-cut amethysts and accented by circular-cut diamonds. The cross has a total diamond weight of approximately 5.25 carats and measures about 136 x 95mm. Head of jewellery at Sotheby’s London, Kristian Spofforth, said: “To some extent, this unusual pendant is symbolic of the princess’s growing self-assurance in her sartorial and jewellery choices, at that particular moment in her life.”

A controversial early masterpiece created by the renowned 16th century Flemish grandmaster, Peter Paul Rubens – Salome Presented With the Head of Saint John the Baptist – changed hands for an astonishing US$26.9m at auction during Sotheby’s Masters Week. Supposedly painted in 1609, it is regarded as one of a small group of masterpieces created by the artist immediately following his return from Italy in December 1608. The painting formed part of a truly grand white-glove sale of works from the fabled Fisch Davidson Collection &#8211; one of the most significant arrays of Baroque art ever to come to market. While many other fine items jostled for attention during the course of the sale, there was no doubt that this renowned example of Rubens’s singular artistic vision was the star attraction, with the winning bid of US$26.9m &#8211; the third highest price ever paid for one of the artist’s works at auction &#8211; merely confirming its significance. Christopher Apostle of Sotheby’s New York, said: “This Masters Week has been one of the strongest ever staged by Sotheby’s, both in terms of the record numbers pouring through our doors to peruse the lots on the show and the spirited bidding later seen in the saleroom.”
Bronze Award 
Rijksmuseum wins bidding battle
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70274 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ecorche100_p_rgb-e1678677174495.jpg" alt="Auction Bids" width="500" height="750" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ecorche100_p_rgb-e1678677174495.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ecorche100_p_rgb-e1678677174495-450x675.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />
A bronze figure of an écorché man – an individual sculptured with his inner anatomy very much on show &#8211; created by Willem Danielsz Van Tetrode, a much-admired 16th-century sculptor, went for a fairly healthy US$1.5 million when recently auctioned in New York. A sculptor rightly renowned for dramatic compositions and skilled écorché, this particular work – perhaps unimaginatively known simply as A Bronze Figure of an Écorché Man &#8211; together with Hercules Pomarius and Striding Warrior, are generally viewed as his three most accomplished pieces. Perhaps boosting its appeal to collectors, however, the exaggerated body, long legs, abbreviated torso and visually dazzling musculature are quite unlike any of the sculptor’s other works. Particularly popular throughout much of the 17th century, this sculpture was said to have inspired many later artists, with its distinct colouring and contours recreated in a host of subsequent drawings and paintings, most famously in Voorhout’s A Young Scholar in his Study. The sculpture is now believed to have been acquired by the Rijksmuseum.
Muscle Memory 
Nostalgia for the days of the mighty muscle
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-70273 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Daytona3_p_rgb-e1678677248536.jpg" alt="Auction Bids" width="768" height="397" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Daytona3_p_rgb-e1678677248536.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Daytona3_p_rgb-e1678677248536-450x233.jpg 450w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Daytona3_p_rgb-e1678677248536-600x310.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" />
To the surprise of many, a 1969 Dodge Hemi Daytona muscle car – typically a two-door sports coupé designed for high-performance driving &#8211; sold for a highly commendable US$1.43 million at Mecum Kissimmee, a specialist automobile auction event held recently in Florida. Perhaps adding to its value, the vehicle was previously owned by Kevin Greene, a former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and David Spade, the well-known US TV and movie star. Boasting a 4-speed manual transmission, power steering and a 426/425 HP Hemi engine, its eventual sale price far outstripped that commanded by a similar model that went under the gavel in 2022. This may be at least partly because it is believed to be the lowest-mile, original engine four-speed Hemi Daytona still in existence. Remarkably, it has retained its value even though its first owner removed the original interior and arranged for all its body panels to be custom re-painted, while its factory wheels and tyres were put into storage. Although this Daytona model was only in production for one year, it is viewed as one of the most iconic vehicles in automotive history.

Applauding Creations From Different Centuries – Auction Bids to Note

The opening scene from James Clavell’s quintessential Hong Kong novel, Noble House, is one for lovers of classic sports cars. Amid the backdrop of a raging typhoon, Jardine Matheson taipan Ian Dunross emerges from his home on The Peak, gets into his 1958 British military green MGB convertible and roars into the night. He negotiates the road’s twists and turns as he drives – post haste – to a secluded ferry terminal for a clandestine business meeting.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-67662" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/great-car-clubs-of-hong-kong-gafencu-3.png" alt="great car clubs of hong kong gafencu (3)" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/great-car-clubs-of-hong-kong-gafencu-3.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/great-car-clubs-of-hong-kong-gafencu-3-450x300.png 450w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/great-car-clubs-of-hong-kong-gafencu-3-600x399.png 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/great-car-clubs-of-hong-kong-gafencu-3-421x280.png 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/great-car-clubs-of-hong-kong-gafencu-3-120x80.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/great-car-clubs-of-hong-kong-gafencu-3-500x333.png 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/great-car-clubs-of-hong-kong-gafencu-3-200x133.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/great-car-clubs-of-hong-kong-gafencu-3-400x266.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
They didn’t have an MGB sports car club when Dunross made his iconic drive, but fair to say if there was, he would have been one of its most passionate members. Which brings us – albeit circuitously – to the topic of car clubs in Hong Kong. Enthusiasts of signature Morris Garages’ signature vintage sports car will be tickled pink to know that there is now an MG car club in the city. Several in fact, with the long-established MG Car Club among the most popular.

Another classic car with British origins is the Mini. This two-door, fuel-efficient compact vehicle was an icon of the sixties and featured prominently in the celebrated 1969 movie The Italian Job, which propelled the career of acting legend Michael Caine. Since its halcyon days in the sixties when it was originally manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), the Mini has endured a somewhat chequered time of it. BMC restructured to become British Leyland, which then morphed into the Rover Group. Falling in and out of favour over subsequent decades, manufacture of the Mini was taken out of British hands when the Rover Group was acquired by German automaker BMW.

The good news for lovers of the Mini is that the New Mini Club Hong Kong is alive and thriving. Boasting more than 5000 members on its Facebook page, anyone who owns a Mini or has plans to become the proud owner of one can become a member via the club’s Facebook page and “exchange first-hand car information, to know and understand the club more, increase the driving fun, and meet more car fans and friends who share the same interests”. There’s also a lively market on the page for the buying and selling of Minis in Hong Kong as well as tips on looking after your car and upcoming motoring events. 
For anyone looking for something a little more turbo-charged, there’s the Hong Kong Mini Race Car Club. Founded in 1994, the club organises Mini races in South-east Asia and China. While the thrill of the chase is intoxicating the club also focuses on fun and safe racing.

One of the most active clubs in the city is the Classic Car Club of Hong Kong. Officially forming in 1989 – although unofficially motoring on long before that – the club boasts more than 600 members (and more than 6000 followers on Facebook), with over 1000 vintage and classic cars from the rip-roaring 1920s right through to the excessive 1980s. The thriving club has been voted ‘Club of the Year’ by the South China Morning Post, and anyone is welcome to join its expanding membership – the only proviso being that you are a genuine classic car enthusiast.

The club holds regular ‘Sunday Morning Drives’, where classic car enthusiasts can put their pride and joys through their paces while cruising the highways and byways of the New Territories and catch up with other members, where they can share stories and maintenance tips about their own vehicles. Annual car shows are also held where the best classic cars are honoured and there is the opportunity to participate in car parades. The club also actively participates in charitable activities such as visiting aged care homes and orphanages.

By all accounts, new members are most welcome. According to former club chairman and current regalia coordinator, Justin Liu, “I still remember when I first joined. I was extremely impressed with the diversity and friendliness of the members. No matter what classic car you drive, you are bound to make conversations and friends with fellow members. Now, close to a decade later, the club’s welcoming and diverse culture continues to flourish.”

The Collectors Car Club of Hong Kong is a small and friendly group with some wonderfully quaint and quirky vehicles – a niche that members proudly take out of their garages and let loose on the wider world. From vintage Volkswagens right through to stunning early models such as the 1928 Buggati, 1934 Plymouth convertible, 1939 MG TB, 1954 Rolls Royce Silver Dawn, 1954 Chevrolet 3100, a 1967 Lotus Super, as well as newer vehicles such as the 1989 AC Cobra and 2001 Hummer H1, to name but a few.

If you’re considering getting involved it’s worth checking in with individual clubs as to their current status. While many have continued – or commenced – engagement and events with their member base as we head back to some level of normality, some may have scaled back activity over the social distancing and restrictions brought about by the last two-and-a-half years. Hopefully it won’t be too long before all the clubs are back in full swing and the motors purring.

Tell us how you discovered your love of sailing. 
Honestly, I’ve always been someone who enjoys being out in the wild. I love being in nature, be it hiking up some hills or being on the ocean. Having said that, it was actually my father who first introduced me to boating when I was a child. At first, our family had a small power boat that we used to take out on weekends, but as I got older, roughly the time I started high school, we began to transition to sailing yachts instead, and that’s when I fell in love with the tranquility of being on the ocean. Even twelve years later, I very much enjoy the calm and quiet of sailing, where it’s just you and the environment. You can kind of forget about everything else for those moments.
Also, it’s a fantastic way to bond with my dad as well. Coming from an Asian family, I think a lot of things go unspoken, particularly when it comes to discussing emotions and such. But when you’re working sails and operating a boat together, there’s a sense of comfortability and camaraderie that connects us without words.

Looking back, what’s your fondest memory of sailing? 
I think the most memorable experience for me happened about four or five years ago when my dad and I participated in a sailing boat race to Macau. It just so happened that the event was held right after a typhoon, so the ocean conditions were super rough. Pretty much everything went wrong – we lost one of our sails halfway through the trip, then one of our engines stopped working as well. I think we spent about six hours trying to fix everything; roughly the same time that it should have taken us to do the entire race. My gosh it was a challenging time, but I look back on it very fondly. It showed me how truly powerful nature is, and how small you are, but at the same time it was very character-building!

Fast forward to the present, and you are about to receive your brand new Fountaine-Pajot MY6. What attracted you to this design? 
We looked at quite a lot of different power catamarans from various brands, but when my friend Justin Luk, who works as a broker for Asia Yachting, introduced the MY6 by Fountaine-Pajot to us, that’s the one we ended up choosing for several reasons. Firstly, there’s just the sheer size of it – there isn’t any other catamaran that has this feeling of spaciousness to it. From the height of the ceilings to the roomy cabins and airy lounge areas, it just feels much larger than a 40ft boat. I also liked that there was no wasted space such as superfluous corridors and connecting areas, resulting in a sleek, clean aesthetic. The attention to detail of the MY6 was also a deciding factor, whether it’s the uniformity and high-quality finish of the fibreglass exterior to the beautiful upholstery and furnishings within. From the macro to the micro, it’s truly an impressive design.

How do you feel this latest addition will complement your lifestyle? 
It’s going to be a nice change. As my father reaches retirement age and I’ve become more settled in my own career, we’re both transitioning to a new phase of life, and the MY6 gives us the chance to shift from sailing yachts to a more laid-back, convivial ocean-going atmosphere. It gives us the chance to step off the gas, forget about issues such as Covid, and just enjoy each other’s company. It’s also a great venue to socialise with friends and family, whether it’s hosting big barbecues or just having an afternoon sail with a few loved ones. Basically, whatever activity we choose, we’ll be able to enjoy it with the luxurious feeling of being in a private apartment on the water.

Its performance, too, does not disappoint with a cutting edge E-Performance technology and 800-volt Performance battery. Offering continuous power supply and long range cruising with low energy consumption of only 300kW (or 300kW for the optional Performance Battery Plus) that adds to the appeal of a long drive out in town.
